Quick Fix Inquiries

A: You need to have this product between 94o and 100o F. Your body temperature is 98o F, so you need to have it as close as your body temperature as you can.

Q: I heated the Quick Fix up twice, and there is still no reading on the temperature strip. What is wrong?

A: You need to let the product cool down. The directions recommend heating the product for 10 seconds. If you do not see a dot under the temperature, but the bottle feels warm, you have probably overheated the bottle. Allow it to cool down for a few minutes.

Q: What is the best way to keep Quick Fix at proper temperature and leave it there?

A: We recommend heating the product for 10 seconds in the microwave, then attaching the heating pad or keeping the product against your body to keep the heat.

A: Yes! If your product remains unused, it can be reheated repeatedly as needed. Quick Fix works for two years after the production date.

Q: Where can I find my expiration date on the product?

A: We track manufacture dates through the batch code which can be found at the top of the instruction sheet inserted in the carton. Use our Batch Validator with your batch code to verify your batch has not expired. Please note that any Quick Fix products with a formula code BELOW 6.1 will need to be exchanged. Formula codes are found on the bottom of the box below the content description. Our current formulas are 6.1 and 6.2. Both formulas are valid, there is no need to return a 6.1 formula unless the batch has expired. Enter your batch number in our batch validator to confirm your product is good.

Q: How can this product be both male and female?

A: It is illegal for a lab to test the gender of the urine for a pre-employment test.

Q: Can I mix 2 different Quick Fix together if just using 1 doesn't fill it to the line?

A: Yes, you can mix 2 Quick Fixes together as long as they are both current batches. Our current formulas are 6.1 and 6.2. Both formulas are valid. There is no need to return or exchange 6.1 unless the batch has expired. Enter your batch number into our batch validator to confirm your product is good.

Q: Do I need to add anything to the synthetic urine?

A: No, if you add anything to the Quick Fix Synthetic Urine, you will contaminate the product and will not be able to use it for your test.

Q: Can I pour the silver/red pouch into the Quick Fix?

A: No, this is the hand warmer. All you need to do is take the warmer out of the plastic wrapper package, and shake it. Once shaken, the contents will automatically activate. This can only be used once though, so don't open it until you need it.

Absolute De-Tox Drink Inquiries

A: Yes, this is normal; the product is a detoxifying dietary supplement, which can have that result on some individuals. This is a temporary side effect and will subside.

Q: Where can I find my expiration date on the product?

A: You will find a “Best by” date printed on the top of the cap. If this date has passed you should send the drink in for an exchange. If there's no “Best by” date printed on the cap your drink needs to be replaced.

Q: I want to make sure I am clean for my test; can I take the XXL if I am not over 200 lbs?

A: You do not need to take the XXL Carbo Drink if you are under 200 lbs. The XXL is for persons over 200 lbs. The 16 oz carbo drink is for persons under 200 lbs. Both of the products are for light to moderate smokers.

Q: I didn't avoid toxins for 48 hours before the test like the directions say; will this product still work for me?

A: Probably not. You need to follow the directions printed on the bottle.

We will replace this at no charge. Please allow 6 to 8 weeks for exchange to be processed and returned.

Q: Do I drink the 2 vials?

A: No, you DO NOT DRINK these products. You need to follow the directions, and add these to your urine sample.

Q: My hands are orange! What happened?

A: You got some of the liquid from the vials on your hands. Try to avoid any contact with skin. If you did happen to spill some on you, wash your hands in soap and water, and it should come off within a wash or two.

A:Urine Luck is only 50% effective on pre-employment nicotine screens.
